Boy: This is one of my favourite jokes. Listen. A man goes into a pizza place and asks for a pizza. The girl asks him what he wants on it. 'Oh, ham and mushrooms and olives, please.''Fine' says the girl. And what size pizza do you want? What sizes have you got?'asks the man. 'Well,you can have small, medium or large.''Oh' says the man.'Um..medium, please?The girl says:'OK.And do you want me to cut it into four pieces or six pieces? The man thinks about it and says, Just four pieces, please. I'm not really very hungry. I don't think I can eat six pieces!' Girl: Yeah,that's a good joke.But I think this one's good too. Two farmers go out one day and they buy two horses,one each.They put the two horses in a field. "Wait a minute,' says one farmer.'How will we know which horse is yours and which horse is mine?'So the two farmers sit down and think about it. They decide to paint the horses' tails-one tail will be red and the other tail will be blue. But that night, it rains,and the paint comes off. So the two farmers think about it again. Then one of them says,'Oh, what stupid farmers we are! Look, it's easy. Your black horse is bigger than my brown one!'
